Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now play Call of Duty: Warzone for free, without purchasing Modern Warfare 4. The battle royale arrived on the eShop with the start of Season 1 on November 6, which also fully integrates Modern Warfare 4 into Warzone. According to Activision, the Switch 2 version gets the same features and seasonal content as all other platforms, including the new Hajin Battle Royale map set in South Korea, the Zodiac Resurgence map, and all other playlists. Progress is linked to your Activision account. At the same time, Warzone stopped working on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, although players on those consoles can transfer their progress to any supported platform by signing in with the same account.
This comes about two weeks after Modern Warfare 4 launched on October 23 as the first Call of Duty on a Nintendo console since Ghosts on the Wii U in 2013, which was first rumored late last year. Infinity Ward built this port natively for Switch 2 with the help of Digital Legends, and the game was generally well received, at least on PC. However, Activision has not shared resolution or frame rate goals for Warzone on Switch 2. Modern Warfare 4’s multiplayer is said to aim for 60 FPS when docked, with a fairly low base resolution and scaling, but Warzone’s large maps and player counts will likely be harder to run. Readers planning to play on Switch 2 may want to wait for proper benchmarks before making it their primary platform.
